Anyone watching this? It's not bad but Maggie Gyllenhaal makes me want to puke every time she's on screen.
 
Haven't watched yet. Probably won't. Star studded cast, HBO, yet hardly anyone is talking about it. I figure that means it can't be any good.
 
Watching because of David Simon and George Pelecanos.

It's okay, but I want The Wire (Simon was the creator/writer/producer/director and Pelecanos was a writer/director). It's not The Wire.
 
The only thing that reminds me of the Wire is how the end each episode with the little music overlay. I think it's gotten better as it's gone on but I actually enjoyed the show about the music industry they cancelled last year better. Not everything can be The Wire or Sopranos.
 
I bailed after 3. Didn’t like any of the characters.
 
I like it a lot. I find myself liking the Franco stuff a lot more than the prostitute stuff (although they are starting to overlap).
